cnd-api-maker/laravel

Laravel integration for Cnd API Maker.

This package builds on top of cnd-api-maker/core and provides:

• Laravel Service Provider (auto-discovered)
• Artisan commands
• Laravel generators (migrations, models, factories, seeders, tests… depending on enabled modules)
• API Platform (Laravel) resource generation (if api-platform/laravel is installed)

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 10 / 11 / 12
• cnd-api-maker/core
• (optional) api-platform/laravel if you generate API Platform resources

Install

Public install (Packagist)

composer require cnd-api-maker/laravel

Local dev install (monorepo path)

In your Laravel app composer.json:

{
  "repositories": [
    { "type": "path", "url": "../cnd-api-maker/packages/cnd-api-maker/core" },
    { "type": "path", "url": "../cnd-api-maker/packages/cnd-api-maker/laravel" }
  ],
  "require": {
    "cnd-api-maker/laravel": "*"
  },
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "prefer-stable": true
}

Then:

composer update cnd-api-maker/core cnd-api-maker/laravel

Laravel registration

Auto-discovery is enabled via:

"extra": {
  "laravel": {
    "providers": [
      "CndApiMaker\\Laravel\\ApiPlatformMakerServiceProvider"
    ]
  }
}

If auto-discovery is disabled, register the provider manually in config/app.php.

Configuration

Quick start

install

• 1 create a laravel project

composer create-project laravel/laravel starter-laravel

• 2 create a laravel project

composer require cnd-api-maker/laravel

1) Create a JDL file

Create a .jdl file describing your entities and relationships.

Example: example.jdl

entity Employee {
  firstName String required
  lastName String required
  email String
  phoneNumber String
  hireDate Instant
  salary Long
  commissionPct Long
}

entity Ticket {
  title String required
  due Long
}

relationship OneToMany {
  Employee to Ticket{employee}
}

Generate JDL using JHipster JDL Studio:

• https://start.jhipster.tech/jdl-studio/

2) Install the generator (one-time)

php artisan cnd:api-maker:install --force

3) Generate from JDL

php artisan cnd:api-maker:generate --file=example.jdl

Common options (depending on your implementation):

• --force overwrite generated files
• --dry-run preview without writing
• --module=... generate into a specific module/namespace (if supported)

4) Run database + tests

php artisan migrate
php artisan test

Generated output (example: multi-tenant + RBAC starter)

API Platform endpoints
